  2. !973 Racor 1000 f

    I need to replace the bowls on my I think original Racors. I have two new bowls for the 1000 series but they are too large compared to the old ones in diameter. From what I can see from the internet the bowls from the 500 series may be the proper size. Has any one else had to replace bowls of this...

  4. !@?!?!?@?$?!@ Anchor Pulpit teak inlays!

    Gezuz, what is with the people who put some things together? The teak inlays on my pulpit are wasted and require replacement. So today, out came the wood chisel to get the boards off. They were 5200'd down, and then black cauk run around the edges. Ok. No problem there. BUT - on...

Most of the first day - 100NM from Riverside to Cape May was in conditions with heavy spray constantly covering the windshield. The wipers were running the whole time. Deleware bay was really...

  7. "Tune up"

    Got bored doing my budget on my last flight...so I re-read my engine survey stored on my laptop. It's 18 months old and I keep picking up stuff I'd forgotten about. One comment was both motors should be "tuned up". What exactly is a tune up on a DD 8V92TAC (2300 hrs)? I'm guessing injectors...

  9. Unhappy #%&@ Starboard engine again

    Will it never end? I found some rust on the starboard engine dip stick over the weekend and some sludge on the oil fill plug. Decided to take a short run anyway because my daughter and son-in-law came to visit. This morning I have a few drops of water concensate on the oil fill plug. This is the...

    After all my bragging about my perfectly repaired and working searchlight..I went down to the boat this afternoon, turned on the searchlight and... Totally Dead! No light, no motor movement. Nothin' but a very light "click" in each position of the joystick. Maybe the relay couldn't handle...

  12. $$ Lesson for IR thermometer Use!

    Just got an email from a friend in NY who gave me the long version of his experience doing some temp checks on his two engines with his new IR gun a couple weeks ago that he wanted to tell me about.

  13. $0.69

    There's a saying in aviation that checklists are written in blood. I have a checklist on the boat. It's flow is just like it was in the cockpit...... Before Start-After Start-Before Shutdown etc.... It contains items out of the Hatteras manual and my add ons. It is updated regularly. I print it, I...

  14. $400 for floscans?

    Well, I did some research on the flow scans, and I am not sure if they are worth the money. The gauge is $400+ plus I will need the sensor, so all said and done, it is a $600 expense. I am just truing to figure out the most economical speed for my boat. (gallons per mile - not gallons per...

  15. %$&#!! Windlass foot switch meets previous owner's creative wiring

    Well, I didn't have the patience to wait for the new switches that I ordered online, so I stopped by Boaters World, and bought one more "el garbo" model so I could get my boating fix for the weekend. I replaced the "up" switch, and found that the one that failed had the bottom literally drop out...

    I've been varnishing the past few days and I've finally attacked the aft deck cabinets that, like a TOTAL fool, I Sikken'sed several years ago. With varnish on everything else - aft deck doors, side deck doors, the cetol looks SO BAD it's hard to even describe. So, I have been trying to remove...

  20. Smile "black" coolant anti-freeze

    Hi to all. I 've got a 37 c 1981 with 2 DD325hp that sound very well except for a new problem of over heating temperature ( left 190 and right 195/198 ). I don't think it could be a problem with headexchanger obstruction as I clean them perfectly last year. Now the surprise is that the coolant...
